3. Installation
I. Microphone
TranzIt BLU HF has a small microphone which will be used for your hands-free calling.
Mount this microphone where it will have clear line-of-sight of the driver, and is not otherwise
obstructed. Typically the best microphone performance is achieved with the microphone
mounted high in the vehicle by the headliner, or sun visor. The microphone includes a clip so
it can be slipped onto the sun visor.
II. Control Button
A small control button is included with the ISFM2351 for controlling your smartphone’s
most common functions. This button should be mounted somewhere within easy reach
of the driver. This will button will be used to access features of the Smartphone, and
control music playback without having to handle the smartphone. Please keep in mind,
the controller is designed to be a safety feature for the driver, therefore it should be easily
accessible providing quick control and minimal distraction. The control button has different
functions based on the “mode” of the TranzIt BLU HF. The controls for these modes are listed
under section 5 User Operation.
III. Wiring (Choose Option A or B)
The ISFM2351 is compatible with any vehicle with an auxiliary audio input. Simply use the
connection method described below, under the section titled “option B.”
For vehicles that do not have an aux input, the ISFM2351 is designed to connect to the
back of your radio in-line with your vehicle’s antenna. The TranzIt BLU HF disconnects the
incoming antenna when in use, to deliver the cleanest possible audio from your phone. This
routes your phone’s calls and music to the FM station 98.1, or any radio station you choose,
using the free TranzIt BLU HF application for your smartphone. For this type of installation,
continue reading the following section, “Option A”.
